Why Skin of Color Requires Specialized Dermatologic Expertise

Skin of color is biologically different in ways that directly impact treatment decisions. Melanin-rich skin is more prone to:

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
  • Melasma
  • Keloid and hypertrophic scarring
  • Acne scarring with dark marks
  • Hair loss related to traction or central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA)
  • Razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae)
  • Uneven tone and discoloration

Improper laser settings, aggressive peels, or incorrect acne treatments can cause worsening pigmentation or scarring. That’s why choosing a dermatologist experienced in treating Black, Brown, Indian, and Asian skin is essential.

As a Black dermatologist, Dr. Zoë Indigo has both personal and clinical insight into the nuances of melanin-rich skin.
